Webhooks POST Request Error


I am currently working on setting up an automation to create a new WordPress site on Cloudways via the Webhooks API, but I keep encountering an error during the POST request testing. The error message indicates that the "password" parameter is either missing, malformed, or invalid.

I have mapped all the required fields for creating the WordPress site, including the password, and I’ve ensured that they are correctly set up. I’m not sure why I am getting an error with the password field.

I also contacted Cloudways support to confirm that I’ve authorized and set up the API correctly, and everything is fine on their end.

Could someone please help me troubleshoot this issue?

Hi ​@slynerds 

For us to have full context, post screenshots showing how your Zap step is configured in EDIT mode with the field mappings visible.

Also, provide the link to the app API endpoint documentation you reference to configure the Zap step.

If you are trying to use this API endpoint: POST    https://api.cloudways.com/api/v1/oauth/access_token

Then it expected only 2 body parameters.
